1
And Sarai, the wife of Abram, did not give··birth for him; and she had◦ a handmaid, an Egyptian◦, and her name was Hagar.
2
And Sarai said to▵ Abram, Behold, I pray◦, Jehovah has restrained me from giving··birth; go··in, I pray◦, to▵ my handmaid; perhaps I shall be built up out··of her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
3
And Sarai, the wife of Abram, took Hagar the Egyptian◦, her handmaid, at the end of ten years of Abram dwelling in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram, her man◦, to him for a woman.
4
And he came··in to▵ Hagar, and she conceived; and she saw that she had conceived, and her mistress was··vile in her eyes.
5
And Sarai said to▵ Abram, May the injury◦ done to me be upon thee; I▵ gave my handmaid into thy bosom; and she saw that she conceived, and I am··vile in her eyes; Jehovah judge between me and thee.
6
And Abram said to▵ Sarai, Behold thy handmaid is in thy hand, do to her that which is good in thine eyes; and Sarai afflicted her, and she ran··away from her face.
7
And the Angel of Jehovah found her by◦ a fount of waters in the wilderness, by◦ the fount in the way to Shur.
8
And He said, Hagar, handmaid of Sarai, whence comest thou? and whither▵ goest thou? And she said, From the faces of Sarai, my mistress, I▵ am running··away.
9
And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Return to▵ thy mistress, and afflict thyself under her hands.
10
And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Multiplying, I will multiply thy seed, and it shall not be numbered for multitude.
11
And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Behold, thou hast conceived, and shalt give··birth to a son, and thou shalt call his name Ishmael; for Jehovah has hearkened to▵ thine affliction.
12
And he◦ shall be a wild··ass man, his hand against◦ all, and the hand of all against◦ him and he shall reside against the faces of all his brothers.
13
And she called the name of Jehovah who was speaking to▵ her, Thou◦ God◦ seest me; for she said, Have▵ I also here▵ seen after Him who sees me?
14
Therefore she called the fount*, Beer-lahai-roi*; behold it is between Kadesh and Bared.
15
And Hagar gave··birth··to a son for Abram; and Abram called the name of his son to whom Hagar gave··birth, Ishmael.
16
And Abram was a son of eighty years and six years, when Hagar gave··birth··to Ishmael for Abram.
